War warlord Ugru. Iron Paw sat atop a huge cart pulled by ten tundra cattle, gazing at the towering Anduin Wall in the distance.
"This is the legendary spell you boast of? It's just a small opening. β
Standing beside Uglo, the second seat of the Three Holy Baptists' Twelve Stone Seats, Hattington, known as the Knight of the Demon Sword, was quite dissatisfied with his words.
"A small opening? Keep your eyes open, warlords. That's a thirty-meter rift that can be used by a team of 100 people at a time! For hundreds of years, you and your ancestors, countless tundra orcs, have been bleeding from head to head under this high wall. Even with that great victory a few years ago, you are still helpless in front of the Great Wall of Anduin. But overnight, we made the Great Wall crumble. Isn't that enough? β
"Humph!" Uglu snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Although the two temporary allies came together because of a common goal, they still looked down on each other and were full of contradictions.
However, although Hattington maintained the dignity of the Three Holy Baptists in his mouth, he scolded Zantaba in his heart.
"That incompetent Pale Lord had sworn that he would be able to activate the Pearls of Sins Circle and use the power of the Twelve Rings Legendary Spell to destroy the entire Great Wall of Anduin. But what about now? Although the magic circle was successfully activated, the power of the spell was greatly reduced, and I am afraid that it was not even a quarter of the estimated power. β
According to the initial assumptions, the closest fortress to the epicenter, and the easternmost section of the Great Wall, which is about 10 kilometers long, will be completely destroyed in the earthquake. And then Ugru. The armies of the orcs of the Iron Claw were able to swagger across the ruins of the Great Wall and enter the territory of the Far Frost Province.
But what about now?
The fortress of Sevato was still alive, the spear tips in the hands of the human soldiers on the walls. In the morning sun, the reflection of a blinding light made Hattington's heart irritate. The overwhelmingly superior orc army will definitely be able to break through this ruined fortress. However, due to the lack of siege weapons, it will take at least half a day or even a day.
Then, it would take at least two or three days for all the orc army of 100,000 people to pass through this section of the Great Wall.
At least three days of respite would be enough for humanity to react and assemble an army that could hold the orcs back before they could drive straight in.
The suddenness of the attack that the Trinity Baptist Church painstakingly created. More than half of it has been lost.
Hatinton cursed Zantaba in the most vicious language in his heart, but he did not know that the Pale Lord had already committed suicide and said goodbye to this world.
Although it was not the same as expected, Uglu acted quickly. He rose from the throne of bones. He ordered, "Let One-Eye send the prepared gifts first, and then start the siege." β
After receiving an order from a warlord of war. The one-eyed breeder immediately uses a unique tone. The orc language, which only the Cyclops could understand, conveyed the command.
The two demon's one-eyed, blood-red eyes blinked, roared angrily, and walked towards the front of the position. After standing at the front, the two cyclops removed the huge burlap bag they were carrying on their backs, then pulled out the contents and threw them at the fortress of Sevato.
One of the black objects fell on Chuck. At the feet of McDougall. The centurion looked fixedly. A feeling of shock and anger rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The cyclops on the opposite side threw it over, and it was actually a human head!
The centurion looked at the feathered helmets worn on his skulls and immediately recognized their identities. These people who were beheaded by the orcs. Exactly the soldiers of those outposts.
Watching the heads of their comrades with painful expressions falling from the sky, the soldiers of the fortress fell into a commotion.
"Calm down! Stick to your posts! If you don't want your head to be cut off, and then used by those monsters as a prop to hit the emperor's popularity, then pluck up the courage and stick to your post! Count Exxon of the Wintertalon Legion, Count Renarin of the Redstone Legion, and even Archduke Antelo already know what we're going on here. In half a day, we can wait for reinforcements. β
Chuck had to rely on lies to stabilize the morale of the army. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the number of reinforcements that can be assembled in half a day, in the face of such a number of enemies in front of you, can only be like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to turn up a little wave. However, the ordinary soldiers obviously did not think as far as the centurion, and with the words of the commander as a guarantee, the military spirit of the defenders of the fortress finally stabilized. Even the bow and arrow detachment that survived the mudslide organized two waves of covered arrow rain counterattacks. But alas, Cyclops doesn't take these weak ranged attacks seriously at all.
After throwing all the severed heads into the fortress, the two demon One-Eyes retreated into battle.
The warlord of war thought for a moment and made a second decision: "The first wolf cavalry team will go out, take the gap, and then surround the entire fortress from behind." β
Ugru's order is the horn sound that can most arouse the battle factor in the blood of the orcs. Pointed by the warlord Iron Claw, a thousand wolves carrying knights with machetes rushed like a black wave towards the gap in the Great Wall of Anduin that had been shattered by an earthquake.
And the human defenders in the fortress of Sevato are helpless against this.
Ferreton's main defense against the Orcs of the North is the impregnable Great Wall of Anduin. In the face of the orcs, who lacked siege means, only a minimum of defensive forces were required to be stationed in five fortresses. As long as the Great Wall is intact, the five hundred defenders in the fortress of Sevatore, with their strong walls, can easily hold on for more than half a month, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, even in the face of 100,000 orc troops.
But when cracks appeared in the Great Wall and the fortress was in a state of semi-destruction due to the earthquake, Chuck could only order to shrink his forces and defend the fortress with all his might, and give the Great Wall to the orcs.
So, a thousand wolf cavalry rushed through the Great Wall from the thirty-meter-wide gap created by legendary spells without any interference.
This is the first time since the construction of the Great Wall of Anduin that the tundra orcs have stepped into the land of the Far Frost Province.
The Orc Wolf Knight even stopped, jumped off his mount, and in front of all the human defenders, and then brandished his weapon before continuing to carry out the warlord's orders.
It's a pity that in the face of such a provocation, the human defenders can only endure in silence.
As the wolf cavalry surrounded the fortress, the two cyclops moved again. They swaggered, completely ignoring the arrows fired from the fortress, and also came to the gap in the Great Wall.
However, they did not follow the wolf cavalry across the Great Wall together, but hummed and carried huge stones back to the front of the position.
With the IQ and civilization level of the tundra orcs, mechanical engineering is basically zero. They couldn't build even the simplest battering rams and catapults, and ladders were the most common and only siege equipment. However, with the Cyclops, Ugru has a living and powerful siege machine.
A single cyclops can rival a heavy human-made catapult.
However, since there was no ammunition for the Cyclops in the orc army, and it would be too long to mine it on the spot, Uglu decided to waste it and use the rubble left behind after the collapse of the Great Wall of Anduin as siege ammunition.
Behind it was surrounded by thousands of terrifying wolf cavalry, and then on the frontal battlefield, two cyclops were constantly carrying boulders. All human soldiers know what to expect, but no one has the power to stop the enemy.
This kind of waiting in despair is really the most cruel torment.
Suddenly, Chuck's wolf cavalry began to move.
"What's going on? Shouldn't the enemy wait until the Cyclops has gathered enough ammunition before attacking? Chuck didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
But he quickly guessed why.
In contrast to the Ferredon army, which was strict and forbidden, the orcs were only subservient to the most powerful of lords. When fighting, this kind of thing is not only common in the orc army to not obey orders and act on your own. This time is just another repetition of something that has been born countless times.
The landslide caused by the earthquake completely buried a section of the southern wall of the fortress. The large amount of soil even formed a gentle slope of about 30 degrees. Without any tools, the orcs were able to climb the city wall on their legs along the gentle slope about five meters wide.
The commander of the wolf cavalry apparently also showed up for this fighter, so he did not follow the command of the war warlord Ugru, and gave the order to all of them to go down to the ground and attack on foot.
Anyway, as long as the fortress of Savato is captured and the first victory of this southern invasion is obtained, the war warlord will not punish himself for disobeying orders.
With this in mind, the commander of the wolf cavalry, who was a head taller than ordinary orcs, rushed up the dirt slope first.
There is no discipline, no formation, but it has a numerical advantage and a combat power that completely surpasses ordinary humans. Facing such an orc army, Chuck Centurion found it extremely tricky.
In the earthquake, more than 200 regular defenders and 300 auxiliaries died. Now the strength of the entire fortress is not as large as this wolf cavalry force.
The centurion glanced at the army of orcs under the front wall of the fortress, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, first drive the orcs behind the city wall!" β
Centurion Chuck decided to leave only the auxiliaries on the frontal walls, filling the faΓ§ade. Because he knew that his life could only be counted in hours, and whether he could stop the walking wolf cavalry rushing up the city wall along the mud slope was a problem, and the rest would be talked about later.
